Waite for It . . . Council Votes to Sell Confiscated Guns

“The Waite Park (MN) City Council has voted to sell some guns confiscated by police. By a 4-1 vote, the council decided Monday night to sell any otherwise legal shotguns and rifles. But the guns can be sold only to federally licensed dealers the city already works with. Weapons that will not be sold include handguns and illegal guns such as sawed-off shotguns . . . Waite Park Police Chief Dave Bentrud asked for direction from the council because they’ve collected about nine guns since he took over as chief three years ago.” Well, I’m glad that’s sorted out. Oh, and the august journal reporting this story is . . . The Crookston Daily Times.
